The Spring Meeting - Friuli Venezia Giulia Trophy is a FAI 2 competition which takes place in a flight zone well known by European pilots but where, until now, no important competition has been held. We intend the Spring Meeting as an opportunity to test the Pre-World and World Championship flight field, but our aim is to organize the event each year, starting from 2017.

Meduno is near Pordenone, in the North-East of Italy. The take-off can be comfortably reached driving along an asphalt road and it’s the perfect launch site for Hang Gliding competitions. There is an unlimited area to open Hang Gliders, as well as the numbers of lines available along the amphitheatre, which rises in the west part of the ramp.

Event info

The Spring Meeting - Friuli Venezia Giulia Trophy is a FAI 2 competition which takes place in a flight zone well known by European pilots but where, until now, no important competition has been held. We intend the Spring Meeting as an opportunity to test the Pre-World and World Championship flight field, but our aim is to organize the event each year, starting from 2017.

The flight area is mainly in the foothill but, depending on weather conditions, it is possible to fly also in the Alps and in the flatland. There are different takeoffs; two of them are in Slovenia and can be chosen in case of changeable weather.

Besides the competition, there will be an Expo area next to the landing field and many different activities will be organized for families, friends and visitors.

The landing field in Travesio is highly used by Hang Gliding and Paragliding pilots coming from all Europe.Pilots particularly like the perfect terrain conditions and the absence of obstacles, as well as the absence of strong or turbulent winds in the hours of main thermal activity.
